Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is among the most commonly done laparoscopic surgery in the surgical practice of all Surgeons. The principles of ERAS( Enhanced recovery after Surgery)[1] have traditionally been applied to many surgeries, laparoscopic surgeries in particular, which leads to rapid recovery during the postoperative period leading to early discharge and early resumption of work.
We did a retrospective observational study over a period of 6 months involving 60 patients who underwent laparoscopic Cholecystectomy at our hospital during this period. We followed the principles of ERAS and were able to discharge most of them early hence leading to early resumption of work.
Our study aimed to reinstitute the fact that the principles of ERAS can be applied at relatively smaller hospital setups while maintaining the essence and benefits of ERAS.
